The impending presidency of Donald Trump is already helping his books sell.

Trump's breakthrough best-seller from the 1980s, "The Art of the Deal," and his campaign work "Great Again" were on Amazon.com's "Movers & Shakers" list Wednesday of books making the biggest jumps on the best-seller list.

"The Art of the Deal" soared from No. 1,107 to No. 24 and "Great Again" from 5,340 to 172.

"He's not a politician. But that's awesome because he always speaks whatever he thinks," said Smith, who's unemployed. "He's completely determined to have his way, which is good and bad. Whatever he says he wants to make happen, he's going to make happen."
